Cricket's - Where Madison Goes for Wings

Cricket’s is a casual, laid‑back spot where wings are the main attraction... fresh, never frozen and served with a variety of sauces and seasonings straight from the fryer.

The wing menu has flavors like lemon pepper, teriyaki, habanero and honey gold, giving you options from mild to spicy and sweet.

Wings are usually served with fries and a drink in combo specials, making this a great lunch or dinner deal.

They also offer cheese fries, burgers and other comfort classics if you’re dining with a group that wants variety.

It was great 9 years ago... and still great today...

It's sports bar meets comfort food... TVs are often on, the atmosphere is lively and it’s popular with families, groups of friends and folks stopping in for a casual meal.

Whether you’re new to the Madison area or just hunting down the best wings in town, Cricket’s remains a solid destination for finger‑licking goodness.

Then one chilly night, I gave in.

Plugged it in... crawled under... and immediately wondered why I’d spent years being stubborn.

It’s not just warm... it’s a perfect warm. A soft... steady... wrapped-up-in-a-cloud kind of warm.

Now it’s my go-to for movie nights, cold mornings and anytime I just want to feel like I’ve got my life together.
